The hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr. Hammond) decried President Sarkozy for saying that competition should be a means and not an end. I do not agree with President Sarkozy about many things, but in this case I do. However, the Tories seem to see competition as an end in itself, thus making a fetish of what is a means to greater prosperity. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that to make competition an end in itself is economic reductionism of the worst order?
